Mathematics is both an art and a science. At Nazareth, we teach it with an emphasis on pattern discovery, problem solving, and the integration of diverse ideas. We recognize that there are often multiple approaches in solving complex problems, and we use the language of mathematics as a means of sharing those thought processes. We also make use of current technologies and instructional methods to reveal the beauty, symmetry, and power of mathematical concepts.

Nazareth's mathematics degree prepares students for teaching, graduate school, and the professional world. Graduates enter careers in the insurance, industrial, financial, and government fields.

“I moved to Cambridge to work at a software company with no computer science experience, and I can’t tell you how many times I’ve been told that they hired me because of my problem-solving skills. I owe it in huge part to the support of the math department.”
